In 2014, Africa received 56 million international tourists up from 26 million in 2000. International tourism receipts amount to US$ 36 billion or 7% of all exports in the continent. Africa has a major opportunity to harness the potential of tourism to foster development and increase its participation in the global economy. In addition, tourism creates opportunities for millions of host communities in Africa and provides revenues for cultural and environmental preservation. Creating capacity in Africa to develop and manage a competitive tourism offer is thus fundamental. Tourism products are a key pillar in the development of any tourism destination. The range and quality of the tourism product offering defines the competitiveness and attractiveness of tourism destinations and the visitors’ experience. As tourism to Africa evolves to become an increasingly important socio-economic sector, it is essential for countries in the region to adopt effective strategies for tourism product development; strategies than promote a more competitive Africa tourism offer in the marketplace and comply with the need and desires of prospect visitors. UNWTO Regional Programme for Africa and UNWTO Affiliate Members Programme joined forces, with the support of Casa África, to develop the present report, which aims to provide African destinations with the appropriate tools and ${protocol}://www.e-unwto.org/doi/book/10.18111/9789284417322 - Tuesday, September 03, 2019 4:31:21 AM IP Address:62.97.100. techniques to assist them in increasing their competitiveness in the current rapidly changing marketplace. On behalf of UNWTO, I would like to extend our gratitude to all organizations and Member States that have contributed to this report. I trust it will serve as a useful instrument to advance tourism in Africa, recalling that the development of adequate and sustainable tourism products can only be achieved through the cooperative efforts of all parts of the tourism value chain – national and local governments, the private sector and civil society – geared towards an holistic tourism experience. 2 UNWTO • AM Regional Report: Volume Four 84 Foreword by Luis Padrón López, General Director of Casa África Casa África is a public consortium under the auspices of Both of our organisations lament the dearth of specifically the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation in Spain, profiled publications that would allow us to build up, year with active participation on the part of the Autonomous after year, a truer picture of what tourism means and could Government of the Canary Archipelago and the Town mean to the African continent, together with the best Council of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the city where the practices that emerge as guidelines for African countries headquarters are based.

  • Tourism, Biodiversity Conservation and Rural Communities in Zimbabwe
    Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (Volume 13, No.8, 2011) ISSN: 1520-5509 Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Clarion, Pennsylvania TOURISM, BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION AND RURAL COMMUNITIES IN ZIMBABWE: Shepherd Nyaruwata Leisure and Hospitality Management Department, Faculty of Commerce, University of Zimbabwe ABSTRACT The need to conserve Zimbabwe’s natural resources as a base for its tourism industry has encountered innumerable problems since independence. The majority of the resources are located in rural areas and directly impact rural livelihoods. An evaluation of the programmes implemented by the government on tourism development, biodiversity conservation and rural communities was undertaken. This entailed carrying out desk research on the topic covering developments in Zimbabwe, Southern Africa and selected parts of the world. Field research was undertaken on the following community based tourism enterprises (CBTEs): Gaerezi in Nyanga, Cholo/Mahenye in Chipinge and Ngomakurira in Goromonzi. The paper highlights the challenges that CBTEs face with regard to long term sustainability. Research findings include the need to improve national policies affecting CBTEs, lack of management capacity within the communities and inability to market the products offered. Recommendations aimed at improving the sustainability of CBTEs are provided. Keywords: Tourism; Biodiversity Conservation, Communities, Communal Areas Management Programme for Indigenous Resources (CAMPFIRE) INTRODUCTION Zimbabwe’s tourism is mainly based on its varied natural resources ranging from wildlife, flora, water and outstanding physical features. The sustainability of the country’s biodiversity and hence the long-term sustainability of the tourism industry is dependent on the attitude of rural communities towards these resources. This is mainly due to the fact that most of the resources are located in areas that are adjacent to rural communities or within the rural communities.

  • THE IMPACT of ZIMBABWE TOURISM AUTHORITY INITIATIVES on TOURIST ARRIVALS in ZIMBAWE (2008 – 2009) Roseline T. Karambakuwa
    Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (Volume 13, No.6, 2011) ISSN: 1520-5509 Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Clarion, Pennsylvania THE IMPACT OF ZIMBABWE TOURISM AUTHORITY INITIATIVES ON TOURIST ARRIVALS IN ZIMBAWE (2008 – 2009) Roseline T. Karambakuwa, Tonald Shonhiwa, Lydia Murombo, Fungai N Mauchi, Norah R.Gopo, Webster Denhere, Felex Tafirei, Anna Chingarande and Victoria Mudavanhu Bindura University of Science Education ABSTRACT Zimbabwe faced a decline in tourist arrivals in 2008 due to political instability, economic recession and negative media publicity. In 2009, a Government of National Unity (GNU) was formed and a multi currency system was introduced. This study analyses the impact of Zimbabwe Tourism Authority initiatives on tourist arrivals for the period 2008 to 2009. Fifty questionnaires were distributed to a sample of six stratified tourism stakeholders, including the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority. Secondary data analysis complimented the questionnaires. The study found out that tourist arrivals declined in Zimbabwe during the period 2008 and ZTA initiatives did not have much impact on tourist arrivals during that period. Initiatives by ZTA had a positive impact on arrival of tourists in Zimbabwe in 2009 after the formation of the Government of National Unity (GNU) and introduction of a multi currency system. Keywords: Tourism, Zimbabwe Tourism Authority, Economy INTRODUCTION Tourism in Zimbabwe Tourism was amongst the fastest growing sectors of the economy in Zimbabwe contributing significantly to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) during the period 1980 to 2000. The highest growth rate was in 1995 when Zimbabwe hosted the All Africa Games which saw a 35% increase in tourist arrivals. However, the years 2002 to 2008 saw tourist arrivals dwindling in Zimbabwe (Machipisa, 2001).

  • Chapter 2 | Continent Profile Africa | Version 3
    Chapter 2 | Continent Profile Africa | Version 3 A High-Level View Of The Continent 2 Africa is approximately 30.2 million km ​ and home to about 15% of the world’s ​ population, an estimated 1.3 billion people (UN World Population Prospects, 2019). In continent size and population Africa is number two after Asia; both are forecast to be the highest areas of world population growth in the coming decades. By the end of the century Sub-Saharan Africa is projected to be the sub-region with the largest global population in the world. There are 54 sovereign states and 55 members of the African Union; in June 2019 the AU suspended Sudan’s membership. The continent is divided into five sub-regions; North, East, West, South and Central. Africa has collectively enjoyed significant economic growth in recent years. The ability to continue generating growth, creating jobs and enabling both national development and regional integration will be affected by safety and security risks, travel and trade barriers, infrastructure investment, digitalisation, demographic shifts, and global regulatory frameworks (World Economic Forum Strategic Intelligence – Africa Aviation, Travel and Tourism 2019). The continent’s challenge is to ensure that economic growth is inclusive, and leads to both more jobs and less poverty. Efforts to make this happen include public-private projects like the Africa Competitiveness Report and the Grow Africa partnership. However, lingering challenges include terrorism and security threats, relatively poor agricultural productivity, and significant youth unemployment. African middle class currently at 350 million will double in the next decade or two with consumer spending set to triple to US$2.2T by 2030.

Backman, Committee Chair Dr. Brett A. Wright, Committee Co-Chair Dr. Bruce Ransom Dr. Kenneth F. Backman Dr. Harold Cheatham ABSTRACT Marketing and developing tourism within regional economic blocs is a growing phenomenon at a time when globalization is at the center stage of geopolitics, trade wars, and scientific revolutions. However, this development is occurring haphazardly, with little attention to managing existing socioeconomic inequalities and differing political interests among member states. This absence heightens the need for a shared tourism agenda among member states.
